For drawing the text, no, it's not what you want.

If you insist on not using glWindowPos, this is what output should look like.

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);glPushMatrix();glLoadIdentity();glOrtho(0, window_width, 0, window_height, -1, 1);glTranslated(0.5, 0.5, 0);glMatrixMode(GL_MODLVIEW);glPushMatrix();glLoadIdentity();glRasterPos2f(x, y);// draw text hereglPopMatrix();glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);glPopMatrix();glMatrixMode(GL_MODLVIEW);

Or use glWindowPos and forget about the matrices being ocrrect or not.

It gave me a lot of problem... how should i use glWindowPos ? thanks again

Did you read the link I poste above? The function pointer typedef you need is PFNGLWINDOWPOS2IPROC, and the function name to get is glWindowPos2i.

Define the function pointer in file scope.

PFNGLWINDOWPOS2IPROC glWindowPos2i;

Get the address when you have a rendering context.

glWindowPos2i = reinterpret_cast<PFNGLWINDOWPOS2IPROC>(wglGetProcAddress("glWindowPos2i"));

Also, make sure you disable everything that affects the redering. Disable blending and texture mapping before rendering the text. And depth testing is probably not needed either.
